Would This Look Stupid? - SL8RZZX3 - 08-11-2004

ok, here goes.........

I've loved the EVO 3 kit ever since i first saw it and think i'm going to get it, BUT i also like the euro rear bumpers!

So would my car look stupid if i put EVO 3 front and sides with a euro rear? :unsure:

I'm having a hard time picturing it

Any thoughts?

I'm not sure how bad or good it would look but all I can say is the Japanese styling is extroardinary and "out there" while European styling is suttle and really nice. I think it would be like painting your car half black and half white. On some level you could say it went together but something about it just wouldn't work. That's my opinion!

Yes it would look stupid.

........but that is just my opinion. The Evo fogs lights are too big, round and goofy looking for a Focus. It just doesn't work visually as the Focus is so 'angular' or "new edge" to use Ford Speak.

Try and find some pictures man. I'm sure someone on this board with mad chopping skillz could do it for you, then you'd at least have an idea.

If not here you could try the FJ boards.

My main problem is I really hate the Evo 3 rear! it looks too big and bulky

Unfortunately, I have no software, nor do I have chop skillz :blink:

I agree.

I think the evo front end looks as pretty as a bag of smashed assholes.

I think a Kamanari front with euro rear might look sweet.

But that's just me.

yeah but doods, he loves the EVO kit... the question is will they work together at all. I think someone should really chop it for him ;)

That would probably be my second choice, but i really like the tapered look of the euro.

I haven't found and aftermarket rear that i like at all, even the Cervini's looks like @$$.

I kinda like the Cervini's roof spoiler though, or the north viking evo 2 WRC replica spoiler better.

I'm kinda all over the map with what i like, alittle bit from this style a bit from that.

All i really want is for my car to look different without looking tacky!!

What i have in mind is........ evo3 front & sides, invader cf hood, euro rear (with maybe an apron on it), and an evo2 WRC replica spoiler. With my car being black i think it might all come together nicely! :unsure:

It would look odd.

For one thing, the Evo3 front hangs really low, so the rear will look funny if you dont get a lower skirt for the euro rear.

The styling is pretty much the extreme opposites for the front and rear then.. clean and smooth vs. loud and aggressive. I'm not a big fan of the Evo3 front on the focus anyway though, it doesnt flow with the lines of the car at all.

The kaminiari kit isn't that expensive, if you know where to shop that is.
Let me know if your really interested in it.
